Security Tips
Every 15 seconds, a home is broken into in the United States, so it makes sense to take precautions in case their house becomes a target, according to nationwide website.
Keep safes or lock boxes in a concealed location in the house. To lessen the chance of heat damage from a fire, the basement or lowest level is advised.
Passports, financial records, and other personal information documents should be kept in a closed, fireproof safe or safety deposit box.
Close the curtains or blinds to keep burglars from counting their possessions and observing the layout of their homes.
Ladders, tools, and any other items from the outside that may be used to help with home entrance should be kept in a lockable shed or garage.
Lock and close all garage doors. Put the garage door release cable away from any windows on the garage doors if they have them.
Change out worn keypad entry devices. The combination of numbers and characters could become apparent after frequent use, giving attackers information they can use to break into their houses.
